Data Story
About Health in Texas County, Oklahoma
Texas County's life expectancy rivals nation
At 75.8 years, Texas County residents live longer than the U.S. average of 73.5 years—despite a 25.2% poor/fair health rate that exceeds the national 21% average. This seemingly contradictory profile suggests a population with some health challenges but stronger longevity outcomes, possibly driven by younger demographics or specific health advantages.
Among Oklahoma's longest-living counties
Texas County's 75.8-year life expectancy ranks among Oklahoma's best, surpassing the state average of 72.7 years by 3.1 years. Despite the 25.2% poor/fair health rate, the county's longevity advantage indicates effective management of life-threatening conditions or favorable population health factors.
Long life span despite health struggles
Texas County's 75.8-year life expectancy matches Rogers County (75.9 years) and far exceeds nearby Seminole County (69.0 years) and Sequoyah County (70.3 years). The county's 25.2% poor/fair health rate, however, trails Rogers County's 18.3%, suggesting Texas County manages chronic illness differently than some neighbors.
Highest uninsured rate in profile
Texas County faces a critical insurance gap, with 18.8% of residents uninsured—the highest among these eight counties and 3.5 percentage points above Oklahoma's 15.3% average. The county provides 38 primary care providers and 187 mental health providers per 100,000 residents, but uninsurance likely prevents many from accessing available care.
Close the coverage gap now
Texas County's 18.8% uninsured rate demands urgent action, as lack of coverage undermines the county's health advantages. Visit Healthcare.gov, call 1-800-318-2596, or contact the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to enroll in Medicaid or an ACA plan—your access to preventive care is critical.
